Got you on the list capt. charlie. Glad to have another youth angler sticking with fishing. That is always great news! Thanks!

Okay. I guess you can clarify that for me once you know you're going to make it. Still trying to find everyone who wants one - a ride. Getting close.

Hey Dan, only 23 boats this year???
Was it a bigger turnout last year?

We are now only 1 boat less than last year and 1 total person OVER last year! 56 total anglers coming to fish!

Bring those extra life jackets if you have them! Bring those extra Golden Rule weighmaster boards too!

[Firefighter Jeff]

   Hey Dan,  just curious.  I have one, but why does everyone need a Goldenrule???  You usually have the conversion chart on the sheet.  All they need to do is measure and use the chart.   

[djkimmel]

Not everyone has a measuring board that measures to the 1/8th inch. I doubt anyone will take issue in this event but sometimes different brands of boards do not measure exactly the same, which is why most tournament organizations would name the board brand they were using in the past.

If someone fishes who does not have the Golden Rule Weighmaster, you will need to measure the bass, mouth closed against the end to the end of longest part of tail and read the length to the nearest measurement line the tail touches or passes.

That sucks do you have a warranty?

[TheFishinPollock]

Well, he rebuilt it last summer,  got it back in sept, put it away in oct and ran it 3 times thsi year.  Far as I'm concerend it is still under a full warranty

[Mike S.]

Ouch. I bet the mechanic will have a different opinion of the warranty period. That's a bummer. I had a transmission done in my wife's car a few years back. We got a 6 month warranty, as long as I brought it back at so many miles for a fluid and filter inspection. I did everything the way they wanted. The day after the 6 months was up, I had to leave work to tow the car home because the transmission puked again. I can feel your pain.

bummer, well i blew my 5hrs of nreak in time (warrented) 200 this past friday at wixom lake. there is a nice 1" diameter hole in the top of the #6 piston. hopefully there will be a back seat open next weekend

[Mike S.]

Ouch!!!!  Man, you have had no luck. Didn't you kill the lower unit last year?

lower unit was fine but everything related to the trim and tilt, was lost in a stump hit, trim motor, brackets etc. state farm covered it all. the time lost is what hurst the most

Looks like I'm riding over with Genie and Dan.

Two blown motors in just a few days is more than enough.

Just lost another boater for other reasons. Hope that is the end of it!?! I do have a number of boaters who have volunteered to take 3 so we'll get everyone out fishing. We could use 2 or 3 more boats but we'll make it work. This is about fishing, catching and having fun!

I got dibs on the window seat!!

Actually, he might have a back seat too? I don't remember now.

Are you sure he still drives a truck?  All those kids he is probably sporting a mini van.
